CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This patent application claims priority and benefit of U.S. provisional patent application having application No. 61/822,911, filed on May 13, 2013, and entitled “Power Generation Container Improvements,” which is hereby incorporated by reference.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring now to the drawings,

FIG. 1 is the self-bailing (sheds Rain Water) door assembly-bailing double door frame that houses FIG. 2 door assembly. It is comprised of formed sides a top and bottom welded in the corners to make a receptacle for FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a door assembly of components including hinges door latching devices that are mounted to the door blank by use of fasteners.

FIG. 3 is a symmetrical center control that embodies a redundant safety escape latch that enables someone to open the door if locked from outside. This new design can be used on either hand door by simply flipping it over and reversing internal stop, The devise is mounted to the door blank by use of fasteners

FIG. 4 is the Removable center post that FIG. 2 latches to during operation, but also allows for open maintenance access to the genset engine while post is removed, it is installed by use of fasteners on top and bottom.

FIG. 5 is a composite Estop receptacle that totally disassembles to allow improved corrosion resistance because of increased paint coverage, it is interchangeable with FIG. 6 to allow it to be configured for ground mounting or chassis mounting. The internal parts are located by slots and are clamped together by external fasteners and mounted to the frame by pre-located weld studs on back of FIG. 1

FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of FIG. 1.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of FIG. 2.

FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of FIG. 4.

FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of FIG. 5.

FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of FIG. 6.

FIG. 12 is a self Bailing roof mounted exhaust system that enables Heat sink reducing the need for repetitive painting from surface temperatures from burning protective coating to prevent rusting. It also embodies an internal drain system to ensure that no rain water can enter engine combustion areas.

FIG. 13 is the exploded view of FIG. 12.

FIG. 14 is the roof member that collect rain water to the internal drain and all of their components connect to.

FIG. 15 is a material used to reduce heat between the roof and the exhaust manifold.

FIG. 16 is the exhaust adapter that passes the exhaust gases from the exhaust system of the engine to the roof mounted silencers.

FIG. 17 are adjustable clamping flanges that compensate for misalignment of fixed exhaust flanges.

FIG. 18 is a unique gooseneck end that removes for accessibility to the fuel tank and Genset with without removal of radiator end of generator container.

FIG. 19 represents the open Gooseneck end of container for genset and Fuel Tank accessibility. It is comprised of Corner posts, corner castings top and bottom sills welded at connection points to form a receptacle for FIG. 20 and FIG. 21 which are mounted by means of fasteners.

FIG. 20 is the removable Intake louver for Genset and Fuel Tank accessibility.

FIG. 21 is the removable front wall for Genset and Fuel Tank accessibility.

FIG. 22 is the stow able ladder that gives access to the roof for silencer mounting. It is imperative that it folds inside the corner blocks to meet CSC certification.

FIG. 23 is the ladder receptacle frame.

FIG. 24 enables the ladder to fold down to predetermined locations that also support it parallel to the container when deployed. It pivots about the mounting hardware.

FIG. 25 is the ladder that stows and deploys by means of FIG. 24.

FIG. 26 represents a unique arrangement to allow for the radiator to be removed through the roof or by the rear doors by mean of removable components.

FIG. 27 is the open access frame. is comprised of corner posts corner castings and upper and lower sills that are joined by welding at connection points and mounting brakets and mounting hardware.

FIG. 28 is the removable radiator access anti racking frame to meet the CSC requirements for transverse and longitudinal racking. it is comprised of structure al members welded at connection points.

FIG. 29 are air discharge screens. Mounted to FIG. 28 by means of mounting hardware.

While specific embodiments have been shown and described to point out fundamental and novel features of the invention as applied to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes of the form and details of the invention illustrated and in the operation may be done by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the invention. 

1. A container for a power generator, comprising: a steel shipping container having an access door; and a door mounting hinge that can be positioned on either side of the access door.
